Mostly Somali Taliban Parliament Approves UN Technocrat as Premier

MOGADISHU, Somalia — Legislators on Saturday approved a former leader's son as Somalia's new prime minister who faces the task of uniting a fractious government besieged by Islamic insurgents that control most of the country.
The legislators backed the appointment Omar Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke by 414 votes to nine at a meeting in neighboring Djibouti, the U.N. political office for Somalia said. Sharmarke's father was a popular elected president who was assassinated in 1969. http://www3.signonsandiego.com/stories/2009/feb/14/af-somalia-021409/
